Vertigo

Coming into UT with an associates degree is pretty much all I would need to see if I were doing a character eval.

My goodness, how many facilities can these morons possibly build? It’s like they are purposely doing capital projects to keep the balance sheet stuffed or something so they can prove they don’t care about us.

This photo was a big part of my childhood.

Kathy Ireland is the goat. Fight me.

I was more referring to the recruiting machine and portal defections, but I have it on good authority that there was a mutiny organized by Charlie Strong. At dawn, the analysts and GAs attacked a vending machine in the lobby only to realize they were in the liberal arts building before security disarmed the mutineers of their plungers and watermelon rind helmets.

I am not sure it is a willful dismantling of the Saban machine as much as it is the Saban machine flying apart like a washing machine full of bricks. There is really no way to force donors and bagmen to stay the course, and it is pretty natural for guys to want to size up the next coach before they start committing 6 figures per year to pay players, especially if those are low four stars brought in to replace 5 stars.

Sayin is a genuine headscratcher. Downs and Bond are huge kicks to the nuts. I am really curious how next year looks for Bama, but my guess is 9 wins.

Helm is a quality TE who will play on Sundays. He has great hands and is a very good blocker. He doesn't have elite speed, but not many TEs do. Niblack just happens to be one of those.

Let me help you out dawg. QB: Ewers, Arch, Owens Power RB: Baxter, Gibson, Clark Speed RB: Blue, Wisner WR: Cook, Boldin, Butler WR: Bond, Wingo, Livingstone WR: Golden, Moore, Niblett TE: Niblack, Helm, Agbo, Sanders, Davis RT: Williams, Conner, Baker RG: Campbell, Hudson, Cojoe OC: Majors, Robertson, Cruz LG: Umeozulu, Hudson, Stroh LT: Banks, Goosby, Chatman Jack: Sorrell, Burke/Tapp, Vasek, Zina DT: Collins, Broughton, Bledsoe DT: Mitchell, Bryant, January Buck: Burke, Moore, Simmons, Walton SLB: Hill, Blackshire, Burrell MLB: Gbenda, Lefau WLB: Blackwell, Gullette CB: Brooks, Holmes, Mack FS: Mukuba/Barron, Filsaime BS : Williams, McDonald, Taaffe CB: Muhammad, Black, Roberson Star: Barron/Mukuba, Guilbeau, JJR I also expect some portal attrition in the spring: Kirkland, Chatman, Cojoe, Gilbeau, Tapp, Akana, Walton, Jordan, Burrell, and Davis would be the most likely to go.

I have honestly been pretty impressed at what he is bringing with him so far. They are all great coaches, TBD on if they can recruit.

tOSU is just self immolating before our eyes. It looks to be a long and glorious period of not having to worry about them.

Yea, but they are the flag bearer who keeps trying to make that number smaller.

Once a month once U of A sees the new sidepiece.

I am sure the level of tampering is nuclear. They are the best roster in CFB with a closed portal window to everyone else. They are sitting ducks.

Nah, Herman’s had a velvet handle and a breathylizer.

Karma, thy name is Charlie Strong

One for the twitters @immamac

We are going to have Gameday two weeks in a row aren't we?

I've said for a while now that it would not surprise me in the least to see a culling of the barnacle programs in the big conferences once any super conference or additional expansion occur. If the SEC drops Vandy or Miss St, or the B1G drops Indiana or Rutgers in exchange for FSU, Clemson, Notre Dame, North Carolina, etc. There really isn't a cohesive argument as to why it shouldn't happen outside of sentiment or historical precedent. Particularly if the TV networks put a cap on the amount of teams, and/or the payouts begin to get diluted. Would adding Florida State and Clemson be accretive to the payouts if the SEC were to drop Vandy and Miss. St? Absolutely it would. Would the B1G be a better conference if they swapped Notre Dame and North Carolina for Purdue and Rutgers? You bet.

Is that a mustache?

I'm not sure it is that far fetched, you are talking about in most cases making someone the highest paid person in your entire school system. That typically requires the president and others to sign off. CDC was working closely with Hartzell and Eltife to both hire and extend Sarkisian.

Oatis going into the portal seems like a longshot now that Roach was retained.
